Parallel plates form a solar collector that covers a roof, as shown in the figure. The plates are maintained at 15°C while ambient air at 10°C flows over the roof with V = 2m/s. Determine the rate of convective heat loss from a) the first plate and b) the third plate. c) if the wind velocity, V = 4 m/s calculate the rate of convective heat loss for the first and third plate.
